Possible Tune: HOLY COMMUNION (by Johann Haydn, 1737-1806)
Meter: LMD
Christ’s love is ours, to receive with thanksgiving!
Jesus brings love that shall not end—
Love that sustains our daily living.
Christ greets us as our dearest friend!
He knows us well, He knows our need;
All we must do, is follow His lead.
Christ’s love is ours, to receive with thanksgiving!
Jesus brings love that shall not end.
Christ’s gifts are ours, Christ has given them to us;
He loves us so, His gifts are rare!
Christ blesses us, so to bless others through us;
Each gift is ours; yet, ours to share.
Neighbors in need, uphold and uplift,
So may we honor Giver and gift.
Christ’s gifts are ours, Christ has given them to us;
He loves us so, His gifts are rare!
To Christ I offer myself while I’m singing:
My word, my way, my liberty.
Take and receive, Lord, these gifts I am bringing:
My work, my will, my memory.
All that I have, and call my own:
It is all yours, yes, yours alone!
Take and receive every gift I am bringing:
Your love and grace, enough for me!
In Christ we live, by His timing and measure,
In every hour of the day.
Morning and night, both at work and at leisure,
We trust His word, we know His way.
Moment by moment, Christ nurtures and guides,
As He makes holy each of our lives.
In Christ we live, by His timing and measure,
In every hour of the day.
